Note (Additional information about the record)
- Instructions to pay the petitioner £20 sterling for £160 of Bigorre owed to him by Edward I, dated 30 June 2 Edward II (1309), can be found on m.1 of C 62/85. This would seem to suggest that it was in the reign of Edward I that the petitioner came over to the English side, and the petition has accordingly been given the tentative dates of 1298-1307.
